Any artists who would like to learn more about what does it mean when mathematicians say that "mathematics is an art"? My book "Art of Mathematics" is coming out soon and I would love to hear your take on this.

My new app allows you to magnify a number line repeatedly to obtain better and better approximations of the location of a point sitting on it. sineofthetimes.org/standalon… #mtbos #mathchat #ITeachMath

So much fun creating skeuomorphic interfaces with the new Opus. Here’s a Pickett N600-ES slide ruler from 1962.

けどショップに実機を触りにいく暇はない！
コピー用紙ならあるぞ！
そんな時はそののコピー用紙をこう折れば大雑把なサイズ感が分かります
（どういう状況なんです？）

Published today! Our article in Math Horizons about how Robert and I lied to players for three years in our game Digit Party, and how we used integer linear programming to stop.

Llevo unos días trasteando con la inteligencia artificial para crear manipulativos y juegos para matemáticas. Algunos, pequeñas variaciones (o no) de lo que hay por ahí. Otros, más difíciles de encontrar, al menos para mí, como las geotiras (geo strips). Os cuento. 🧵

I will always resist the calls to "make math more relevant to students' lives." Contorting subject matter to fit an adolescent's tiny box does not help them; it ensures that their boxes remain tiny.
I am in the mind-broadening business.
